Donald Trump and His Hair Oppose Offshore Wind Farm, Saying It Ruins View from his Golf Course’s Despoiled Land

Donald Trump, a man for whom the term ‘bad hair day’ was coined, is seeking revenge on the wind. The UK Guardianpiece — “Donald Trump pledges ‘any legal means’ fight against windfarm: US tycoon saying proposed offshire turbines will ‘compromise’ golf resort — and ruin his sea view” — uses a classic dry British with to expose Trump’s hypocrisy, starting with its photo and caption:

George Sorial, managing director of the Trump Organisation, said the windfarm would compromise the golf resort. “We are here to stay and I don’t think it’s a good idea to interfere with our investment. We are not going to support a project that compromises what we have done. We will use any legal means in our jurisdiction.”

David Milne, one of Trump’s most critical neighbours, whose house at Hermit Point is next to the golf course now under construction, said the billionaire developer was turning into a “New York clown”. Milne’s view over the dunes and the North Sea has been blocked by Trump; a 6-metre (20ft) high earth wall came first, later replaced with a row of spruce and pine trees surrounding Milne’s property.

“How can a man who has just destroyed a site of special scientific interest and is in the process of despoiling an area of outstanding natural beauty with his golf course, comment on the view? It’s laughable,” Milne said.

The only good news here is Trump is not likely to succeed:

It remains highly unlikely that Trump’s objections will succeed. The windfarm is supported by the European commission and the Scottish government, and is one of a number of test centres seen as essential if the UK is to reach its target of 7,000 offshore wind turbines, with an expected investment of £100bn.

Trump is also in conflict with several of his most prominent supporters over the windfarm scheme, known as the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. The EOWDC project involves Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group, a publicly-funded agency part controlled by Aberdeenshire council, which approved Trump’s resort, as well as Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, which last year gave the American tycoon an honorary degree, and the Wood Group, founded by the oil services magnate Sir Ian Wood, a cheerleader for Trump’s resort.

David Rodger, a spokesman for the wind project, said: “We have been in regular contact with the Trump Organisation and acknowledge the concern raised. We made a strong case for the environmental and economic benefits of the centre [for] global research and development for offshore wind … [which] is of strategic importance to Aberdeen, and Scotland’s renewable energy ambitions.”

Any vestige of humanity Trump might’ve had has shriveled into nothingness and he is now merely an ego in a suit prancing and blustering under whatever member of the wolverine family it is that lives on his head.

Not surprised with his opposition to offshore wind- does wonders for the hair and isn’t really necessary since he creates enough hot wind onshore. I really hope that he runs as a third party candidate for Pres.
